Because forcing a bunch of poor people to have kids they can't take care of and that will become the government's problem is an awful idea. It is the exact reverse of what you want to do from a policy perspective.

Abortion is central to the womenís rights movement. Without abortion, women are subject to potentially being taken out of the workforce or otherwise saddled responsibilities they donít want by virtue of their physiology. Without abortion, women will find themselves pregnant when they didnít plan to be. Women could never reach any level of equality with men if they are bound by their own bodies to occasionally be pregnant and have children. The fear of being pregnant unplanned is real, as they believe the consequences of an unplanned pregnancy would be catastrophic for their career or social plans. Womenís lib, shunning traditional family arrangements, equality in the workforce, sexual revolution, women I. The military, winenís Sports - abortion is the key to all of it.

Many women fear the consequences of an unplanned pregnancy far more than the guilt or psychological harm They would suffer as a result of violently butchering their own child.

Of course, the legal rationale for Roe, etc., is legendarily bad.

Looking at abortion, legal rationale for abortion, and what abortion really is really makes Me think that the world is pretty terrible place.

Women still get pregnant. However, the fear of getting pregnant is as much of a motivating factor as any practical matter.

Abortion grants women a life that they otherwise could not have without massive risk and fear.

Edit: thatís a reason such a big deal is made of getting pregnant through Rape. The chance of this actually happening to a woman is incredibly small, but the fear of it happening is something that a lot of women really consider.

real answer: women LOATHE the fact that they are slaves to nature. Their bodies, including their brains, are biologically programmed to bear children. They bleed out of their penis hugger holes every month. They go haywire as their eggs start to shrivel up. Their entire purpose is to make babies. With the advent of abortion, they found an escape from this simple fact. Now they could have all the unprotected sex and creampies they ever wanted without any of the consequences. Abortion is selfish above all else.

In the absence of outside existential threats (like famine, disease, natural disaster, etc), technologically-mediated female sexual selection is emerging as the evolutionary force that will continue to drive mankind towards its destiny. Sensing their own stagnation, humans manufacture crises in order to force the species to continue to adapt and grow. Today, this entails maximizing female sexual freedom (with, e.g., birth control, abortion rights) while minimizing male sexual freedom (#metoo cultural norms, rape tribunals lacking in due process). The only men likely to be having sex and walking free in that society will be, you guessed it, Chad-like in physicality but also suaviter in modo. Their genetic material will carry on and yours won't. It's not the man that cures cancer that will leave a legacy - it's the man who solves women.
